Before entering fully into the meaning of the term fragor, it is necessary to proceed to know its etymological origin. In this case, we can establish that it is a word that derives from Latin, exactly from "fragor, fragoris", which, in turn, emanates from the verb "frango, frangere", which is synonymous with "to break".
Fragor is a concept that, according to the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy ( RAE ), is used to refer to a roar . The roar, in this sense, is a sound of great intensity.
For example: "The girl was startled when she heard a noise of unknown origin that seemed to come from the ground floor" , "When the noise began to die down, I knew that the discussion had come to an end" , "The sound of thunder made her notice that rain was imminent .
Other words that are synonymous with noise are din, noise, uproar, commotion, fuss, hubbub or loudness, for example. On the contrary, among its antonyms we have to emphasize terms such as calm, calm, silence or tranquility.
Many times the noise is associated with a battle , alluding to the bustle or lack of control of a confrontation of this type between opposing sides. The expression "heat of battle" is frequently used, although it currently has an extended meaning.
When a person refers to the "heat of a battle" , or even simply the heat, they may be referring to a difficult, arduous or complex circumstance . Those who find themselves in the "heat of battle" are dealing with challenges or obstacles and, therefore, have their attention and efforts concentrated on the resolution of that conflict.
A journalist, when analyzing a political debate, may affirm that an opposition leader, in the "heat of battle" , uttered expletives and had outbursts against the president. This attitude of the leader, in a certain way, is explained or justified by the intensity of the dialectical confrontation or by the nervousness inherent in a discussion .
"In the heat of the fight against the criminal, the young man lost his phone, found hours later by a woman who returned it to him," to cite another case, is a phrase that can describe a scene that takes place on a public street.
In the field of video games, the use of the term in question is also used. A good example of this is that in the Pokémon game there is a movement that was introduced in the seventh generation and that responds to the name of roaring scales. Specifically, the Kommo-o dragon is the one that carries out this action that it develops in combat, causing damage to its rival as well as the loss of a level of defense of the aforementioned animal.
Within the field of literature we have to establish the existence of different books that use the word we are addressing in their titles. A good example of this is the work titled «Fragor Hannibalis. Aníbal en Hispania", which was published in 2013 and is the result of the work of different authors, among whom are Manuel Bendala Galán or Eduardo Carlos González Wagner and which have been coordinated by María Pérez Ruiz and Inmaculada Escobar.
